It is a direct replacement for Volvo Penta relays 841177 and 872272, giving boat owners and marine technicians a reliable option when the original relay fails or shows signs of corrosion and weak contacts. The relay uses a screw-type connector for a secure wiring connection, copper contacts for consistent conductivity, and a normally open contact configuration with automatic operation, so it switches on demand without manual intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for 30 amps of switching current at 12 volts, the relay is sized for trim pump motor circuits and similar accessory loads found on marine engines. Panel mounting keeps installation straightforward in tight engine bay or dash wiring compartments. Sierra is a long-established supplier of marine electrical components, and this relay is backed by Sierra's standard limited warranty. At 0.08 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component that fits into existing wiring harnesses without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-6268\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoil Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normally Open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Switching Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Switching Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Switching Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282126414\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta trim relay applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e841177\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e872272\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage and amperage is the Sierra 18-6268 relay rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6268 relay is rated for 12 volts with a 30 amp current rating, suitable for marine trim and accessory circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-6268 relay replace Volvo Penta relay 841177?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sierra relay 18-6268 is a direct replacement for Volvo Penta part number 841177.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Sierra 18-6268 a replacement for Volvo Penta 872272 as well?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this relay cross-references to Volvo Penta 872272 in addition to 841177.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of contacts does this relay use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6268 relay has copper contacts in a normally open configuration, which close the circuit only when energized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 18-6268 relay wired into a boat's electrical system?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a screw-type connector for wiring and is designed for panel mounting, making it straightforward to install in existing trim wiring harnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-6268 relay weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The relay weighs 0.08 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this relay manual or automatic in operation?\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic operation is built into the 18-6268 relay, so it switches based on the circuit's control signal without manual actuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-6268 relay?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this part is 808282126414.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-6268 genuine Sierra or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a genuine Sierra-branded relay, part number 18-6268, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat application is the 18-6268 relay intended for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This 12 volt, 30 amp relay is intended for Volvo Penta trim relay applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the relay come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6268 relay is backed by Sierra's limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 18-6268?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes one Sierra 18-6268 relay unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988355854555,"sku":"SIE-18-6268","price":25.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-6268__72694.1722497281.500.750.jpg?v=1785188561","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-6268-12v-30a-marine-trim-relay-for-volvo-penta-replaces-oem-841177-872272","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
